I am writing a client for my gaming community and one of the functions of this client is to launch a game via the client with parameters that will enable our community mod pack on launch.
When I press the button, the game begins to launch and as soon as the program opens (the icon pops up in the task bar), it closes instantly.
Is there something I am missing that is needed to keep the launched exe running?
Here is my code:
private void btnLaunchGame_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string armaPath = gameDir+"/Expansion/beta/";
string filename = Path.Combine(armaPath, "arma2oa.exe");
string launchParams = "-noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors \"-name=Meta\" \"-mod=I:/Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 2;expansion;expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion;servermods/@HC_DAYZ;servermods/@HC_WEAPONS;servermods/@HC_EXTRAS;servermods/@HC_ACE\"";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filename, launchParams);
}//close Game Launch
Any ideas is appreciated!
I have a .bat file that will execute the game flawlessly with the launch args listed below, this could possibly help pinpoint the cause of my problem: http://puu.sh/5CGKk.png (couldn't get code to paste in a readable format).
Try using Process:
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "arma2oa.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors \"-name=Meta\" \"-mod=I:/Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 2;expansion;expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion;servermods/@HC_DAYZ;servermods/@HC_WEAPONS;servermods/@HC_EXTRAS;servermods/@HC_ACE\"";
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = gameDir + "/Expansion/beta/";
process.Start();
It may be what exe require working directory to be set. Or it will crash, unable to load resources.
If that doesn't works, then perhaps you need to add
process.WaitForInputIdle();
before exiting function running process. I don't know why, but running Acrobat Reader without this wait may sometimes cause a wierd effect: Acrobat is running, but the document, passed via arguments, is not shown. Perhaps something to do with Garbage collector or Process itself.
